1. If there isn't any pixelllation, then it isn't overcropped.

2. If it is flying in my face/buzzing around my head/crawling on my skin, AND, it goes crunch/pop/squish when I smash it, then it is a true bug!


Have a great day, my friend!

They're incredibly drought resistant, and if you give them a little bit of fertilizer, they go wild with growth and blooms.

I was seeing an exposition of the photographer Edward Steichen and he dedicate sometime to cultivate Delphinium and took pictures of it. Two ways of express creativity nicely.

I used the same technique here and here, the photos are bigger and you will see they don't have the slightest lack of details. When I watch them full screen they are good enough to see the scales on the butterfly wings for example.

Last year on my trip around the Gaspe peninsula I tried a little different approach by using the zoom of my camera (12X optical) to the fullest, standing away a little over 3 feet. This gave me a nice blurred background, as you can see here. The photo is a bit small, but you can see anyway.
